New Chauncey volunteers at Food Finders including Aaron, a.k.a. "Hercules". Wonderful to see a bunch of our neighbors' families all lending a helping hand.

Apologies for the No Posting for Awhile...But Here's A Summary of the Last Three Months
October 2017
On a Saturday in October, we had 300+ visitors come through our home as part of the first annual Hidden Gems Home Tour. Quelle surprise! Really expected only 30 guests in the three hour window of visiting hours. Needed to put our feet up after that afternoon!
At the age of thirteen, Edward’s participation in his first half marathon took place this month. He achieved a PR and placed second overall in his age group. We are incredibly proud and impressed with his endurance. Yay for Edward!
Aaron enjoying his Tanker costume Andrew constructed for him and Edward as an “Old Man” on Hallowe’en.
N. Chauncey neighborhood moms on Hallowe’en.
Andrew and I dancing the night away last night. Really groovin’ sounds at the Black Sparrow for their Hallowe’en DJ battle.
November 2017
Andrew as D.J. C* spinning the night away in November at a local musical bar called The Spot. Second gig this year. He's very happy to be mixing with his turntables again.
Aaron as entry 132 with Cub Pack 3337 in the Lafayette Christmas Parade! Exhausted but thrilled to be marching with the group.
Our First Holiday Open House invitation to hopefully become an annual tradition. Great turnout and loads of fun. The spiced lamb meatballs were especially popular!
December 2017
Celebrating Aaron’s actual 8th Birthday at the Star Wars movie premiere this past Friday. Happy Birthday Aaron! May the Force Be With You.
Taking Aaron to a Birthday Sunday brunch with Andrew (Edward was studying for his two finals). Star Wars inspired drawings by Aaron while waiting for our meals.

Edward Won but He Lost! September 2017
He did get first in the 5km Hunger Hike run last weekend for youths but because he is 13 years old he didn't qualify as an actual youth (12 and under). Since the next runner's age up was 20 years old he was given the second place youth trophy for his efforts and first was given to the 12 year old who came in after him. Yay Edward!

First Day Back to School August 2017
Edward, now thirteen years old, started eighth grade and Aaron, now seven years old, entered second grade this past Thursday. Great to see them smiling so. Hope it stays that way! :) Congratulations on your first day back to school, boys!
Sailboat Tour Summer 2017
Enjoyed a 90 minute tour of Toronto's Harbourfront on Lake Ontario via the Kajama. Gorgeous day, thankfully. Wanted to go to Center Island as a family but was flooded due to recent heavy rains. No complaints discovering this beauty instead!
